Inspiration & stories

Family cycling inspiration

The reason that we first set up Cycle Sprog was to help other parents to start cycling with their young children.  We didn’t have any role models, and found it very difficult knowing how, where, when and what to do!

Over the years we’ve met loads of other cycling families, and we never fail to be inspired by what other Cycle Sprogs are up to.

We really hope that these articles will make you want to leap on your bikes and start pedalling – who knows where you’ll end up?

Cycle Sprog's most popular articles

Here at Cycle Sprog we help thousands of families each week find the information they need about kids bikes and cycling together as a family.

We've got hundreds of articles on the website, and we do hope you enjoy browsing them, but if you're in a hurry these are our most popular articles that will get you started.

Back to school, back on the bike

The summer holidays are over, but the cycling adventures don't have to be! As a new school year begins, it's the perfect time to get ready for the cycle school run. We've compiled our recommendations for the best gear to get your kids to school, whatever the weather, from packable waterproofs to essential bike accessories.

Autumn is also a beautiful season for family bike rides, and it's the perfect time to visit a local pump track. Pump tracks are a fantastic way to build confidence and bike-handling skills, and they're a huge amount of fun!
